A Trees Appeal.

In the town of Medford, Mass, there
stands, in the carriage-way of the high
street, great elm, very old but per-
fectly thrifty, and one of the most beau
tiful specimens of its kind. Not long
ago the selectmen of the town had
reached the conclusion that, owing to
the supposed danger to passing teams,
it would be best to have the old tree
cut down.
The news that the tree was to be sacri-
feed spread about the village, and
some Of the people, who had genuine
and very natural affection for the old
landmark, began to agitate against its
destruction. No great amount Of feel
ing was aroused, however, until, one
morning, the people found a sign
tackled upon the trunk of the tree, which
bore these words in rather rude letters:
"What! cut me down." This simple
appeal, which seemed to come from the
tree itself, was So touching, and told SO
pathetic a story, that the people be-
came very much interested, and raised
so many protests against the destruc-
ton of the tree, that the selectmen
changed their minds. It still stands
and thrives.

W.Ae,s to Trust Jesus.

What time am afraid, will trust In thee. "
Psalm lvi. 3.
Oh, trust thyself to Jesus when con-
scious of thy sin-of its heavy weight
upon thee, of its mighty power within.
Then is the hour for pleading His fin
ished work for thee; then is the time
for singing, Ellis blood was shed for
me-"
Oh, trust thyself to Jesus when faith
is dim and weak, and the very one thou
needest thou canst not rise to seek.
Then is the hour for seeing that He
hath come to thee, then is the time
for singing, ellis touch hath healed
me-"
Oh, trust thyself to Jesus when
tempted to transgress, by hasty words,
or angry look, or thought of bitterness.
Then is the hour for claiming thy Lord
to fight for thee; then is the time for
singing, "He doth deliver me-"
Oh, trust thyself to Jesus when
daily cares perplex, and trifes seem to
gain power thy inner soul to vex.
Then is the hour for grasping his hand
who walked the sea; then is the time
for singing, "He makes it calm for me.
Oh, trust thyself to Jesus when some
truth thou canst not see, for the mists
of strife and error that veil it's form from
thee. Then is the hour for waiting on
Him to guide thee right; then is the time
for singing, "The Lord shall be my
light"
Oh, trust myself to Jesus in bright
and happy days, when tasting earthly
gladness or winning human praise.
Then is the hour for hiding in the
shadow of His wings; then is the hour
for singing, "Praise to the King of
kings"
Oh, trust myself to Jesus when thou
art wearied sore, when head or hand
refuses to think or labor more. Then
is the hour for leaning upon the Mas
ter's breast; then is the time for sing
ing, "AIy Saviour gives me rest.
Oh, trust myself to Jesus when thou
art tried with pain, no power for prayer,
the only thought how to endure the
strain. Then is the hour for resting in
His perfect love for thee; then is the
time for singing, "He thinks, He prays
for me-"
Oh, trust thyself to Jesus in days of
feebleness, when thou canst only dumb1y
feel thy utter helplessness. Then is
the hour for proving His almighty power
in thee; then is the time for singing,
"His grace sufficeth me-"
Oh, trust thyself to Jesus when thou
art full of care, for wanderers whom
thou canst not win our blessed hope to
share. Then is the hour for trusting
thy Lord to bring them nigh; then is
the time for singing, "He loves them
more than I.

The late Sylvanus Cobb, Jr., was
probably the best known of the story
writer's of this country, and one of the
most voluminous of composers. He
had written exclusively for the Ledger
for thirty-one years. Robert Bonner,
editor and proprietor of that paper,
told Times reporter recently how he
came to engage Mr.. Cobb. "In 1855"
said Mr.. Bonner, II published story
by Fanny Fern, known as the 800
column story from the price which I
paid the authoress. The agent of
Ballou's Pictorial, the successor of
Gleason's Pictorial in Boston, came to
me to solicit an advertisement Of this
story, and gave it to him. Soon
after, in the editorial columns of the
Pictorial an article appeared suggest
ing that the 800 column story was
good enough to tell the marines, and
thus casting doubt on my veracity as
publisher, I complained to the agent
of the paper that this was scarcely fair
after having solicited an advertisement
of the very story attacked, and the re-
suit was that I received o letter from
the editor stating that the article was a
mistake and had been written by sub
ordinate. I answered this that I did
not consider private apology ample
redress for public wrong, and then I
set to work to have my innings. I
knew that Sylvanus Cobb, Jr., was the
most popular writer that Ballou had,
and I found out what salary he was
getting. I at once offered him double
this amount to write exclusively for the
Ledger, an offer which he accepted, and
since 1856 not line from his pen has
been contributed to any other paper.

lnthe matter ofentertaining strangers
upon anniversary occasions, people are
apt to be just little particular. They
want them to be young so that they can
wait upon themselves, and healthy so
that they can eat what is set before
them, and quiet and retiring so that
they will not be prying into the do
nestle affairs of the family. They
must be people who will give the least
possible trouble while the meetings
last, and not overstay when the meet
ings are over. But here is a case so
completely exceptional that it deserves
to be recorded.
A good woman, the wife of home
missionary in the far West, was on her
way to join her husband. She had
never attended a meeting of the
Woman's Foreign Missionary Society,
and longed for the privilege, but who
would entertain her during the session,
seeing she was encountered with three
small children? One of our devoted
sisters said: Here am I, send her to
me, and let the children all come with
her, and I will hire o nurse to take
care of the little ones, while the mother
and I attend the anniversaries. And
so it was arranged, and that dear
mother will never forget the kindness
shown her, and the good sister that
cared for the little angels will not lose
her reward.-First Baptist Church
Herald, Chicago.
